What kind of buffing wheel do you use?

[koryto2012]

Just curious to what buffing wheel everybody is using. I use a Makita buffing wheel.

For buffing what in particular?

I like to use an old flannel shirt wrapped around a trash can lid. Then once it's nice and secure i'll dip it in gorrilla glue and lay it in some of that sand/gravel left on the streets from winter time. That's my "heavy cut"

Then for the next stages I'll use things like an old piece of astro turf or indoor/outdoor carpet on the same trash can lid, and for the final polish i take 2 sticks of butter, rub them on the neighbor's cat and hook him irectly to the buffer with a few bungee cords... YOu can just watch the swirls fade right out

Picked those tricks up on a sunday morning watching the "power block" on spike TV, there was a too fast, too furry-ness, low budget tech tips segment where i've learned tons of invaluable tips like these.. Not only does the car look better with it's new "brushed metal" paint finish but the weight savings alone from the primer,paint and body filler that you discover you really don't need will gain you 4tenths in the 1/4mile on a car with only 120hp and a cold air intake and stickers!!

Woot Woot!!!!!!!!!

I have a porter cable DA with lake country pads and a makita rotary with 3m pads (wool cutting and foam finishing). I only use the makita if im wet sanding first. For swirl removal of stock pain I use the porter cable. I use the porter cable for applying and removing wax aswell.
